NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rpcbind package and not the rpcbind package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in rpcbind. This vulnerability allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by sending a large number of unique requests. The rpcbind service records previously unseen RPC (Remote Procedure Call) statistics in unbounded in-memory lists, leading to persistent memory growth and increased CPU usage. This can degrade or exhaust service availability.
